"E" FFV Dear Friends

[loggnogg]

So epic.. beautiful. Thanks again Lonlon.. I love revisiting your old videos =]

[AMATERATSUVIEW]

Es hermosa

[StaRelentless]

Of all the renditions of this song I've heard, this is the most emotional and beautiful by far. Your videos always put me in a good mood. Thank you for sharing your playing with us :)

[sonarkoto]

i like the way you move your fingers, lonlonjp. so gentle & gracefully.

i was searching for guitar tabs online but feeling something not right with those guitar tabs i found...especially the Breezy ff8 guitar tabs...

ignoring the difficulties, i wish i could play more closely to the original...

[Volviert]

I cried. Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[FellTheSky]

osom dud i love this song

[JuniperJones2U]

just beautiful, we are all dear friends

[lonlonjp]

Thanks, JuniperJones2U for your heart-warming comment ^-^

[ultramegaman555]

i really don't know what to write, up to now i will only rate :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your rating, ultramegaman555 ^-^

[TempusTransit]

This song I believe was also used as the opening and primary motif score for the Nintendo DS release of FFIV, was it not?

[Reloading26]

@TempusTransit no

[diggagenis]

hey lonlon me and my guitar teacher are currently trying to figure out this song bye ear :P it's kinda tough but it's a lot of fun to do^^

my guitar teacher who doesn't know any final fantasy or music from it really likes it too ;)

[lonlonjp]

That sound pretty interesting to do ^0^

if you have some difficulty, i would be of some help to you. Do not heasitate to ask me ^^

[diggagenis]

I'll remember that ;) we are going to figure out a lot more of your songs after we're dne with this one :P

[MonkeyGenerated]

Excuse me, where do you get the tabs for his songs?

Or do you play by ear?

[lonlonjp]

Unlike most of my videos, this arrangement is not made by me ^-^

i changed and added some measures and notes though. Please see "more info", for more details :)

[Topetliger]

"Friends" lot in life, "True Friends"

few, and the "Dear Friends" last a lifetime.

Very good lonlonjp ♫♫♫

[murasuX]

nice song and great great play lonlonjp sensei

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your kind comment, my friend ^-^

[TransientWriting]

hey,

this is my favorite of uematsu's songs. i think if i saw this performed live i would cry a single, manly tear. so emotional. FFV was my favorite too.

i will look forward to "home sweet home". thats another song that is very emotional

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement^^

i have almost completed arranging it.

[lisam805]

Yay, another FFV song! Neat to know Dear Friends was written for guitar.

I'm actually in the middle of re-playing FFV right now; it helps me de-stress after graduate school classes. :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

Now i am arranging "Home Sweet home FFV"

[lisam805]

Awesome. Can't wait!

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

[StareCalmo]

Such a lovely song, and very inspiring. Thank you for posting this :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video^^

At that time, i felt a huge pressure to arrange and play "One-Winged Angel", i almost gave up to continue my efforts. Then many friends on YouTube encouraged me to keep on.

In order to express my sincere gratitude, i played this song^^

cheers

[MguitarL]

A truly lovely piece, and you play it so

beautifully! Your guitar is wonderful,too!

5***** and warm regards, Maria

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much indeed MguitarL :)

This time what I saw in your comment is that this guitar too is a true friend of mine. And I am very happy to realize that there are tremendous potentiallity not yet revealed. For example, when I recorded this song I felt pretty new sound. I played it for more than 20 years but that was the first sound for me. I sincerely realized that i did not know this guitar fully. I can and will keep on making some more efforts... :)

With respect

lonlonjp

[tommyk77]

[Swordguyman]

What's up with your videos? They are very.. calming and soothing to the senses.. whats that word, voluptuous. Another great arrangement, can't wait for the next one!

[lonlonjp]

hahaha... i did not use any sound-effect such as reverb and delay. this is natural sound of a guitar. also i did not change or modify the video picture at all... so i too do not know what happened either... :)

anyway thank you for watching my video :P

lonlonjp

[HolySamurai4990]

Amazing. Thank you for continuing to make videos for all of us to enjoy.

[lonlonjp]

HolySamurai4990, you are a true friend of mine. The friend in need is none to compare.

cheers

[TAKENnameARGH]

I like this one quite much. hehe, the notes played in 01:38-01:42 remind me of a song i used to sing as a runt. I can't recall the name, but i suppose it was some finnish kids song.. Thx for shaking up old memories.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks TAKENnameARGH.

i played this song while considering my old friend who lives far away. it is a fun to write a letter to an old friend.

cheers
